Quick Holiday Update!

Hey there, fellow readers!

So, as I mentioned in my previous post, this month I've been off broadening horizons and richening my appreciation of cultural diversity, through travel! And it has been AMAZING.

It was my intention to take some time out each day, to write a little update of what was happening and how we were getting on. But, to be quite frank, I got so captivated in the beauty of the landscape, fascinated by the culture and lost in the lifestyle over there, that it completely slipped my mind!

So this is just a suuuuuuuper quick post, cos I have a little spare time whilst my best friend (who is almost more of a girl than me) finishes doing his hair. We are in Boracay at the moment, which is the most stunning little island in the Philippines. And we're off out tonight to a party on the beach which promises to be quite unforgettable. And then off quad biking around the island tomorrow. Busy busy!

So, instead, here are just a few little snaps of my trip so far!

I'm sorry I didn't have time to write anything insightful. But they say a picture speaks a thousand words, so hopefully these snaps will go some way to rectifying the matter!

Thanks for reading (or not haha), over and out...

Sinking Ships

Can somebody please tell me how to fix this sinking ship? Because I'm exhausted. I've given my all to bailing out these frigid waters, fighting against the relentless surge. I waste every breath, every thought, every effort, to confining an endless tide. I cannot stop. But I'll drown out here, cold and alone, if I don't pause, find the source and fix this broken vessel. So teach me how to plug the gap before it kills me.

Her

She has the kind of face to write poetry about. To spill words like ink on page after page, searching for a way to describe it. And yet, there are never enough words. Their meaning, feels meaningless. I could travel to the furthest reaches of every continent. Dive to the deepest depths of the seven seas, or soar to dizzying heights above the tallest trees. And yet, the world would feel dull, in comparison to her. Even in a thousand lifetimes, hard as I try, I wouldn't ever find a single sight more beautiful than her face, nor a string of words capable of capturing that beauty. Because nothing has ever or will ever be more beautiful to me, than her.

I'm sorry...

So, over the past few months or so I've been trying to figure out how to write this post, to talk about the end of my five-year relationship. The intention was to clear my head of this swirling mass of thoughts, and attempt to find some clarity. But, every time I ended up writing, this post got longer and more difficult. So I put it off, I avoided it, and I stressed about how on earth I would ever manage to translate my thoughts into words. However, I refused to give in, because part of me believed that once I could get this confusing tangle of emotion out of my head and into words, I would finally be at peace. So, one sentence at a time, as the days and weeks and months stretched on, I managed to string together this rambling mess of thoughts. And in the end, it just turned into an apology. To myself, to those around me, and more than anything, to the girl who all of this began with. So, here goes... Do you ever feel like the longer time passes, the further from yourself yo...
